Anna I. Ganyukova, Andrew V. Zolotarev and Alexander O. Frolov Zoological Institute Russian Academy of Sciences, 199034 St. Petersburg, Russia | Submitted March 20, 2020 | Accepted April 17, 2020 | Summary The article provides characteristics of seven new isolates of monoxenous trypanosomatid Crithidia brevicula, which were isolated from the hindgut of Brachyceran flies in the northern regions of Russia. Comparison of the SSU rRNA gene sequences and subsequent phylogenetic analysis based on this marker have demonstrated that new isolates form a reliable cluster with other isolates of C. brevicula from Hemipteran and Nematoceran insects.
